Ferris Wheel

Boys should smell like popcorn, 
freshly cut grass and the 
rusting bolts of an October 
ferris wheel.
Love should feel like hot funnel 
cakes with powdered 
sugar,Messy like candied apples 
running down your chin. 
Filling you up way too much 
and having you taste warm 
sugar.
You not wanting the delicious 
smell to fade or the 
scrumptious taste to 
disintegrate.
Rides are thrilling, and scary 
but the boy smelling like 
popcorn, freshly cut grass and 
rusting bolts of Ferris wheel is 
holding on to you like he will 
never let you fall.
